Smart transportation: A key building block for a smart city!

Rising number of on-road vehicles and ineffective existing transport infrastructure are expected to propel the need for efficient management systems. Favorable government initiatives for building better infrastructure and smooth running of existing transport systems are expected to boost industry growth.
Increasing investments in smart city projects are anticipated to open up new avenues for growth in the coming years as smart transportation is an integral part of any smart city. In addition, rising government focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and curbing alarming levels of traffic congestion is anticipated to drive industry growth over next few years. Increasing number of government mandates, such as those by the European Union (EU) and Directive on Intelligent Transport System, are also anticipated to favor the market during the forecast period.
On the flip side, need for massive capital for replacing existing infrastructure with smart technologically advanced systems is expected to hinder industry growth. Longer downtime for replacing existing systems may also pose a challenge to its growth and can affect daily commute.
